Help make list of models on photo
« on: August 02, 2012, 03:24:15 PM »
Hi all

Can you help me make list of models from photo.
Buddy of mine found this fleet but can't name models for making trade with me.
My knowledge of Imperial models are VERY limited.
I know photos not stellar but this could be start of my 2nd fleet

As a note, using pictures straight from facebook application tends to not work for everyone other than you. You might want to think about using imageshack.us or photobucket.com for this.
As we Imperials say, "The Emperor [class battleship] Protects..."

Best to take photos of individual ships up reasonably close and in profile. Photos of blurry and jumbled ships aren't much of a help. However, I can tell you that the smallest metal ships are Cobra destroyers, the other small ones are Sword class frigates and the battleship is an Emperor model that is fitted as a Retribution.

As for the plastic cruisers, it seems you have a couple of Gothics and a couple of Overlords (one with a NC). You have a half-cruiser, which would be fine as a wreck and the last one looks to be either a Tyrant or another Overlord. Can't quite make it out.

Yep, need better pics!

Otherwise:
7 Cobra Destroyers
3 Sword Frigates
2 Gothic Cruisers
3 Overlord Battlecruisers, one has a Nova cannon
1 Retribution Battleship (supposed to be an Emperor)
1 wrecked ship


You can pop off the bits on the battleship and use the left overs to make it the Emperor it's supposed to be. Pop off the turrets on two of the battlecruisers to make them regular cruisers (Tyrant or Dominator), and you'll have a legal fleet.

I've already asked for better photos.
Is this good "starter" IN army?

Its not bad. Your in serious need of some launch capacity (fix the Emperor and that should be covered). Pairing a Gothic with a Dominator or Tyrant is a classic Imp combo and with what you have you should be able to field a couple groups of those giving you a solid core of firepower. Swords and Cobras are both stellar for their size and easy to use. You have better than 1500 points there and some solid options for a good non power gamer list.
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

New mebby 150ish, in this condition probably less than half that. Id shoot for 60-70 USD if this was on Ebay on a good day.

From top:

1
* Emperor battleship model fitted with weapon batteries and dorsal lances (plastic bits) to resemble a Retribution.

2
* Top left: Armageddon class battlecruiser with nova cannon... (without dorsal lances a Lunar)
* Left low: half cruiser with weapon batteries...
* Top right: Gothic with dorsal lances....
* Right low: Dictator with dorsal lances:

Note: the dorsal lances are bollocks, only battle cruisers have them. So remove them on the normal cruisers.

3.
Top right : Lunar with torps
Low left: Gothic with missing lance turrets on broadsides (use them from the dorsals :) )

4.
Sword class frigates

5.
bits. antennas. many unused launch bays etc

Fiddle the dorsal lances and you have a good fleet to play around with. Low on escorts though.
Andrew's price suggestion is okay I think.

It is already 1500 points. To make it more rounded and gain more options I'd say add escorts (Swords/Cobra's) and a couple of Dauntless).
